Chapter 8: Sugar Part 1

During a cooking demonstration at the local fair, Erin and Jaylon were fascinated as Grace, a renowned pastry chef, showed them how to make the perfect caramel sauce. She explained that this process involves subjecting sugar to high or prolonged heat, which changes it into a brown liquid. What is this process called?

• Insulin

• Hydrolysis

• Caramelization

• Agitation

During a study group, Kaylee, Sienna, and Joshua are helping their friend Laura with her organic chemistry homework. They come across a compound composed of the elements carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Laura wonders what this compound could be. Can you help them identify it?

• Biomass

• Carbohydrate

• Hydroxyl Group

• Chlorophyll

Erin and Laura are working on a school project about the local park's flora. Erin asks Laura, 'What is the green pigment found only in plants and used in photosynthesis?'

• Brown Sugar

• Granulated Sugar

• Confectioner's Sugar

• Chlorophyll

John was having lunch with Luis and Kayden when he noticed that Luis was having trouble eating his food. When asked, Luis explained that he was suffering from tooth decay caused by acid damaging the enamel coating on his teeth. What is this condition commonly referred to as?

• Dental Caries

• Hydrolysis

• Glycogen

• Insulin

Kaylee, Ashley, and Tyanna are planning to make homemade candies for their science project. They learned that a specific type of glucose is commonly used in candy making. Can you help them identify the name of this glucose used by the confectionery trade?

• Dextrose

• Fructose

• Galactose

• Glucose

Jaylon is feeling constantly tired and thirsty, and his doctor suspects it might be due to his body's inability to move glucose from the bloodstream to the cells. What could be the condition called?

• Diabetes Mellitus

• Disaccharide

• Glycogen

• Insulin

During a science fair, David and Erin are presenting their project on carbohydrates. David insists that a compound made of two bonded monosaccharides should be called Dextrose, while Erin argues it's called Disaccharide. Jaylon, who is observing their project, suggests it might be Fructose or Diabetes Mellitus. Who is correct in this scenario?

• David (Dextrose)

• Erin (Disaccharide)

• Jaylon (Fructose)

• Jaylon (Diabetes Mellitus)

While studying for her nutrition exam, Sienna recalls learning about a specific sugar that is not only unique to animals and humans but is also a key component in milk. She wonders, what is the name of this monosaccharide?

• Hydroxyl Group

• Glycogen

• Galactose

• Glucose

During a biology class, Jaylon and Mia are learning about nutrition. They come across a question about monosaccharides and want to know which one is the most abundant of the sugars and is a basic energy source for people. Can you help them identify it?

• Fructose

• Galactose

• Glucose

• Glycogen

Ashley and Jaylon are working on a science project about biochemistry. They are examining a process where a large molecule is broken down into smaller parts by adding water. Joshua, their classmate, asks them to name this process. What is it called?

• Caramelization

• Insulin

• Hydroxyl Group

• Hydrolysis
